Moffat County Commission recap for May 12

Moffat County Commissioners John Kinkaid, left, Frank Moe and Chuck Grobe conduct county business at their regular Tuesday commissioner meeting.

Moffat County commissioners did the following Tuesday morning at their weekly meeting:

During general discussion:

• Moffat County Sheriff KC Hume noted that he encourages officer's discretion when enforcing leash ordinances at Loudy-Simpson Park. With the transition into the spring season, Hume said calls regarding owners unleashing dogs at the park are increasing.

"We're not going to proactively go out and try to sign people up and get them into court, that's really not what our mission is," Hume said, explaining that any complaints will be taken on a case-by-case basis.

He asked the commissioners to refer any complaints or concerns they receive back to the Sheriff's Office.

Commissioner Chuck Grobe added that individuals with disabilities let their dogs off the leash at Loudy-Simpson so the animals can get the necessary exercise.
